'Em z itti 'A g i f F JOHN BURROUGHS 1837-1937 John Burroughs, A Character Study OHN BURROUGHS' books and poems have had a great influence upon the people of this country. John Burroughs wrote about thirty books of the Wake Robin type, many poems and many articles for the newspapers. Today, the people of this country are more interested in nature, more conscious of the world outside, because a man like Burroughs lived. Through his books, Burroughs reached many people and influenced them toward a greater curiosity and love for nature. However, Burroughs had a greater talent, a talent which has had even more influence upon the populace than his writings. This talent was his ability to make friends. He was known and esteemed by the greatest men of his day. He was interested in everything. Many things influenced the character of John Burroughs. His stern and stubborn father gave him the ability to decide for himself and keep his viewsg his kind and loving mother taught him human kindness and a love of natureg his early life on a farm naturally turned his interests to the out-of-doors. The best way that we can look into the character of John Burroughs and see for ourselves what made him so esteemed as a friend is through his journal. His journal or his diary was kept for many years. He wrote in it whenever he felt like it. He never expected to publish itg consequently, he wrote his own opinions about life. John Burroughs had a shrewd ability to see behind the ordinary, to draw conclusions from the simplest things, to analyze, to see the effect and determine the cause. The following selections from his journal illustrate the point: I notice that boots and shoes standing alone always have a sad look, never a smiling or joyous one. The wrinkles about the instep seem to cause it. Vital literature is not made by the study of literature, but by the study of things, of life. John Burroughs had a great curiosity about things in nature and often this led him to new fields of interest. John Burroughs was not, however, only interested in nature. He had a broad knowledge of the world. He held his own opinions and the following is an example of his philosophy: The more we live upon the breath of the newspapers, the more will the mental and spiritual condition out of which come real literature and art be barred to us. The more We live in the hard, close, cutting, calculating business spirit, the further are we from the spirit of' literature. The more we surrender ourselves to the fever and haste and competition of the industrial spirit, the more are the doors of the heaven of the great poems and works of art closed to us. The more we live and move and have our being in the scientific spirit, the spirit of exact knowledge, the fewer monumental works of literature we leave behind us.

Q at V Z - .-L ', f W. , . i s h m i iiii e 9 l10l SENIORS THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW Claire Agatstein Claire is a distinguished disciple of the Gne arts. She sings a resounding bass in the Glee Club. Her frequent literary endeavors to the land of make-believe on such subjects as little pink hens and other similar phenomena have entertained us allg and last, but not least, she has spent the best years of her life as an aspiring pupil of the school of the modern interpretative dance, under the careful guidance of Miss Lisbeth Hoops fWhoops, my dearlj. Naturally athletic, Claire has nobly held down the thankless job of goal-guard on the varsity hockeyg she heaves the baseball with skill, and, although, falas!j the facilities of the school afford no opportunity for demonstration, she has a reputation for being a swimmer and diver of excellence. Stephen S. Adams IV Elected Speaker of the Assembly last year, Steve is one of the most outstanding and versatile members of the class, having dabbled in many school activities. He was president of the Dramatics Club at one time, and had a prominent role in the Club's production of Berkeley Square this year. The Glee Club was greatly enhanced by Steve's booming voice, and listed among his other accomplishments in the field of music is the ability to play an off-key clarinet only slightly off-key, and to play the first page of the score of Rhapsody In Blue on the piano. Steve runs the Assembly by Roberts' Rules Of 0rderg himself by a capricious dis- regard for the rules laid down by Emily Post. His favorite recreation is to wander into the Art Room and to out-surrealist Salvator Dali in both painting and sculpture. Earlma Andrews Earlma is another of the many musical prodigies our class boasts. Besides being a veteran of the Glee Club, she excels at the piano. In fact, she has been taking lessons since she was a mere infant, and is one of the few people we know with enough perseverance to keep up practicing-daily. We expect to see her bringing down the house throughout the continent any one of these days. CVVe're sure she'd be an instantaneous success with Major Bowes.j Earlma's friendly but quiet manner must conceal quite a bit of gray matter, for she was among those endowed with mathematical intellects who ventured into the realm of trigonom- etry. Earlma joined us in the tenth grade and is one of the survivors of that hilarious and notorious trip to Chicago and the Fair. John Armisteacl John, the class' No. 1 Romeo, is also the class' No. 1 roamer in and out of school. Ever since the automobile accident this year in which he was seriously injured, John has lived an idyllic life. Arising at ten ok-lock in the morning, he leisurely strolls into school about eleven. John is one of our leading humorists, his most recent and most notorious feat being his butler act at one of the class parties. Taking an important role in the Dramatic Club, he was the boy who got the girl in the Club's production of Dulcy last year. John has also taken part in the Glee Club's vocalizing, and was once seen running around the track. He was recently accorded the distinction of being chosen best-dressed boy in the class. llQl SENIOR ISSFE 1937 Katherine Bies If there is a captain of a team t.o be elected, it is almost sure to be Bies. Rain or shine, she may be seen Hitting around in a gym suit, her golden tresses adorned with innumerable clips, combs, and ribbons. Good natured Kay is a human- itarian of renown, and no Martha Carr Column could vie with the tales of Woe which reach her understanding ears. Her scholastic ability pops up at odd mo- ments and she was one of the few to receive a cherished A on her Mid-year English exam. Holding open house from A. M. to A. M. fin her mansion equipped with Spanish gates, and balconies-over which guests have been known to cascadej is just one example of Bies' warm hospitality. There's never a dull moment with the Blonde Venus around. Charles Baker Charlie has a remarkable record at Burroughs. He was the only student ever to obtain an A for a final grade in French from Miss Mettenet since the founding of the school, or at least for the last three or four years. This feat may have been partly due to a trip he made to France one summer, one of the other consequences of which was a case of sore feet, developed from walking around Paris in tennis shoes, which served to keep him out of school for several months. Charlie was a faithful member of the Review Board for several years, finally working himself into the job of co-editor of the Year Book this year. He was also elected to the Student Court last Spring, receiving the job of keeping that body's records. Marian Blanlce Familiarly known as Buttons, Marian, with her fiuttering hands, seems to us our chief exponent of the school of charm and feminine helplessness. Though the possessor of two of the most sprainable ankles in captivity, she manages to make the Varsity hockey team between sprains. Marian's endeavors into the realm of the Romance languages have not been so successful Cwe recall her quiverings and blushes which accompanied sessions with Caesar and carried over into the ad- vanced French classj. but no doubt this has been altered to a great extent by the cruising about the globe that she has done in the last few years. Formerly an avid member of the Glee Club, Marian deserted this activity this year and decided to give her all to the drama. Marvin Edward Boisseau, Jr. The class minority leader, Marvin was the Roosevelt campaign manager last fall, and the maids are still scratching F. D. lt. posters off the school windows. He has been active in school politics as well, and his liking for the New Deal spending has had some of us worried, for he is the treasurer of the Student Council. The many fiery letters he wrote to the World were real propaganda. Marv has been knocking over tables in Dramatics for three years, having had important roles in Romeo a111lJu1ie1', Journegfs End, Dulcy, and As You Like It. VVe all remember him as the priest in our ninth grade version of The Land of Hearfs Desire. In the past year he has attended Review meetings, and has done some work on the Year Book, but the thing that made the deepest impression on us was the printed cards, Boisseau for Council which he passed around during last year's election. l13l THE JOHN BURROIYGHS REVIEW Theoline Boslwiclc A member of the intelligentsia, flaming-haired Theo nevertheless has her eccentric side. Proof of her brillance may be found in the fact that she receives phenomenal grades in Chemistry and edits the Review, in which many of her brain-children- usually taking the form of sonnets-fshe won first honorable mention in the Wednesday Club poetry contest this yearj are published: but her absent-minded- ness has made her the chief support of the lost-and-found. and her destructiveness in the way of spilling cokes in one's lap, and igniting whole boxes of matches, is noted. Two of Theo's most prized possessions are her pen which leaks quantities of vivid-colored ink, and her vicious pekingese of a lurid shade of orange, who bites all and sundry who venture within its range. George H. Bramhall George's reputation at Burroughs rests upon his uncanny ability to spell words. Chemistry without him would have been a practical impossibility, for otherwise Mr. Obourn would not have been able to find an excuse for writing words on the board for Georges benefit. George is the only senior who has stood by the band through our long and dreary years. Even if there has been no im- provement in the band since it was originally organized, the blame cannot be laid at the feet of George or his clarinet. Not confining himself musically to the band, he was a member of the Glee Club for several years. George won his letter in football this year, was a member of the World and Review Boards, and was an angel in the Christmas Pageant. Sally Anne Currie Hockey is my new interestli' Who can tl1e speaker be but our shining little athlete, Sally, who manages to preserve a remarkable attitude of indifference toward all gymnastic activities. However, her enthusiasm is turned towards other channels. According to Sally, the play's the thing and Slabsides is her second home. She played the feminine lead in Berkeley Square with finesse and fervor. A member of the illustrious literary board of the Review, she produces poetry and prose par excellence. Sallyis intellect has long been taken for granted, and, though she abandoned Math several years ago, she nevertheless is able to count up bridge tricks with facility. She possesses a remarkable capacity for laughing, and, once started, becomes so hilarious that tears run down her face. Joseph B. Doughty, Jr. Joe is perhaps the only senior Chemistry student who can give an adequate definition of a catalyst. Included among his more noted feats in the class room are a Core Course paper assigned on Conservation, which Joe wrote on Con- versation , and a multiplication problem in which he multiplied seven times one and arrived at one as an answer. Joe is another of the rising Enrico Carusos of the class, having given the Glee Club the benefit of his tenor voice for three years. He was also a member of the Burroughs rifle team. However, it was in athletics that Joe really outdid himself. He's been a. four-letter man for as long as we can remember, and has often been the boy's representative on the Athletic Council. Joe's most famous feat on the athletic field is the no-hit game he pitched 011 one great occasion against the Western baseball team. i141 SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Barbara Day One of the more playful members of the class, Barbara is perpetually emitting her contagious giggle and creating an atmosphere of merriment about her. How- ever, lately she has turned rather serious on us, and has shown a decided interest in pragmatism. Barbara's address is the most changeable thing about her, as, full of the Wanderlust, she delights in moving from place to place. Formerly a resident of Webster, she has been living in town, and now plans to desert St. Louis entirely in favor of Chicago. She wins the blue ribbon for being the class hypochondriac and is continually suffering from numerous obscure ailments. Barbara puts all her surplus energy into the study of sculpture, and is one of the veterans of the clay- room. John O. Fellcer ' John joined our ranks in the eleventh grade, heralded by the chirping of the birds in the Burroughs woodsg for now, at last, a new day had dawned, and the feathered denizens of the treetops had found a friend. If we remember correctly, it was this year that John crashed the radio with Mr. Obourn in a Popular Science broadcast about birds. John had the honor of being elected president of our class for the senior year. He won a letter in soccer, playing center halfback and was awarded a track letter twice, running the 220 for Burroughs, and being a member of the Blue and Gold relay team. John is another of the class' budding Thomas Bentons, having designed the tableau for the Christmas Pageant. Evelyn Frances Edison A veritable infant compared to the rest of us, Evelyn's dashing sophistication and wit are envied by her elders. These aforementioned qualities-plus no little amount of brain matter-produce ultra realistic stories and poems of great charm. Eve tas she is so affectionately called by her intimatesj is an exceptionally talented actress, and all of her performances are characterized by the remarkable poise which she possesses. The latter is apparent off the stage as well as on, and she applies it with great finesse when her car just won't start and lines of impatient drivers behind her insist upon blowing their horns. Evelyn is overwhelmingly frank regardless of time or place, and she stops at nothing short of openly accusing teachers of having temper tantrums. John Goddard Gale John joined us last fall, after finishing VVebster High, to enjoy a year of Mr. Neville's wisecracks in English. Although he wasn't in Burroughs last year. John had the dubious honor of having his name in the Year Book bigger and better than most of last ycaris Juniors. This was for his work on the sound effects of Journ4'y'x End. He has followed this up this year in working on tl1e stage crew for the Dra- matic Club. He is getting his name on the program again for furnishing the rain and thunder for Bcrlrelcy Squurw. He had many of that play's audience worried over having left their automobile windows open. when he rattled his rain and pounded his thunder. He is the class Thor with his mighty hammer. l15l THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW Virginia Eiseman Having been for the last four years the spice of Mr. Baker's Latin class, Virginia is noted for her habit of injecting impromptu speeches among passages of Cicero and Virgil. Endowed with a large and varied number of talents, there seems to be nothing she can't do, although we admit she stops a bit short of Phys-Ed. However, her seventy-seven page term paper is now almost a Burroughs legend, and she also produces short stories of excellence for the edification of Review readers. Her conversational powers and her ability for excusing herself out of school are positively unlimited, as is her faculty for getting into strange brawls with practically everyone. CWe'll never forget the time she and Johnny hurled cuts at each other in the VVorld R0om.j Her favorite song, by the way, is about a Rambling Wreck-from Carnegie Tech. Lee Grace Lee is a truckhorse of the first water, having had shoved upon him this year all the disagreeable jobs which nobody else wanted to do. He was put in charge of the delicate job of handling the Old Clothes Day last fall, and managed to execute his job as official dance assigner for the school dances this year without receiving more than three challenges to duels. Lee gained distinction as a member of the Glee Club for the last two years, and played on the football and soccer teams this year. He is very versatile in track, having projected himself into the air five feet seven inches and also having capered round the track for Coach Leland. Lee was elected vice-president of the class in the elections held last Spring. Marjorie Frank Full of vim, vigor and vitality, Marjorie is as happy as the day is long-or the night, for that matter. She is another one of those persons who live for the mail and she does not live in vain, for she is the daily recipient of bulky Air Mail Specials from almost every state in the Union. She is an accomplished pianist, but it is no secret that after struggling with Rachmaninoff, Marjorie is content to hover over her Capehart and absorb some Benny Goodman swing. Several frost-bitten toes. which make their annual appearance at the first sign of cool weather. put a tragic end to her gymnastic participation, and account for the mysterious slits which have been noticeable in her footwear through the winter months. Evarts A. Graham, Jr. Evarts' curly head houses the class brain. He has always ranked as our genius and he still is at it, bewildering us plodders by doing his solid geometry without looking in the book before class. His feats do not stop hereg he has taken part in almost every activity the school has to offer. He was editor of the lVorIrl and was particularly prominent in dramatics. He has at various times belonged to the following organizations Qthis isn't supposed to be a complete listlz Rezriew, Year Book, Glee Club, and Orchestra. Evarts has the unusual distinction of being the youngest, but also the largest member of the class. His size and his ability to catch on quick made him a fine football player. He has been active in student government, and is President of the Council. During the mock election last Fall, in which he supported the Socialist ticket because no one else would, he set a record for holding the assemblyis attention for the longest time without saying a word. A year ago he won the Harvard award for the outstanding boy in the Junior Class. l16l SENIOR ISSVE 1937 Joann Gilclehaus Joann has been active in our class ever since she came from the wilds of South St. Louis to the even wilder wilds of Burroughs in grade nine. Her sense of responsibility has made her secretary of our rollicking group at least once, and she has served on innumerable committees. Although she doesn't pretend to compete with Einstein, nevertheless she is a more than able math student, and always seems to be ten jumps ahead of the rest of us in this subject. Joann must knit even in her sleep, for she manufactures about a carload of sweaters a month. and may be found clicking the needles every spare minute. A member of the Dramatic Club, she was one of the multitudinous east of Hf'rlrz'If'y Square. Another of our passionate lovers of the VVest, Joann idolizes the sunniness of California. John Howlett Johngcross both t's and don't dot the e-is the erect, red-headed, slow-speaking cook whose shoes squeaked through the dugout in Journeyfv End. This year, in livrkwIz'y Square, he played the part of John Howlett fthe other characters kept. calling him Mr. Throstlej to perfection, being the lucky recipient. of a role that was an accurate character sketch of himself. Outside of his work in dramatics, John is best known among the boys for his ability to rattle off Latin Knot pig, but the real thingj faster than Cicero in his palmiest days. His English is spoken much slower than his Latin, for he is quiet afnd imperturbable, despite his red hair. John is inclined to punctuate his conversation with aphorisms made up upon the spur of the moment, and we are confident that some day he will be giving Con- fucius a run for his money. Elisabeth Cox Green Elisabeth has long shed the light of her brilliancy upon the class of '37, and we shall never ceasc to marvel at the casual swiftness of her Latin translations. Fate has also bestowed on Coxie, as she is fondly called by her intimates, many talents, the most outstanding being her artistic ability. She splashes paint upon paper in a most alarming manner, and it turns out to be a chef-d'oeuvre. Her discussions C?j with Mrs. Erlsall are better than a Laurel and Hardy comedy. Among Coxie's lighter talents is her faculty for hysterics at practically no pro- vocation, and her equanimity in emergencies. This latter shines forth even in a crisis such as an automobile accident, though the front of the ear be completely collapsed and her passenger wounded on the nose. Bernharclt Klippel, Jr. Klip will long he remembered at Burroughs for the frequency with which he shinncd the Hag pole in our class' younger years. Klippel is also renowned for the bicycle which he uses asa means of transportation to and from school and Lambert Field. Un one memorable occasion, he pedaled merrily into the Airport to greet one of the class' airplane enthusiasts Cguess whoj with I made it from home in eighty-seven minutes. That's a new record for me, and with that Klip was gone on the wings of the wind, back to his house. Klippel's blond head was often seen in the vicinity of the shop in his later years, usually followed by maledictions emanating from the interior of the shop. l17l THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW ,ladienne Hall Une of the most democratic characters in our class, Jadienne makes a point of being friendly and sympathetic to one and all-high or low. Though she carries this creed of equality to extremes which seem to us at times rather breath-taking, we have no doubt that the principles of it are sound, and we have infinite admira- tion for her patience in such matters as listening to the troubles of elevator boys. and administering to the needs of the destitute, be they tramps or stray dogs. Jadienne is another of Miss Quigley's proteges, and her skill with the needle has often been of material Cpun not intendedj aid to the Dramatic department in the making of costumes, curtains, etc. Howard Lacldand Howard is the owner of the class, most remarkable dog, Mimi. Mimi has many weird qualities, one of which is an inordinate desire for tobacco and alcohol. The dog enjoys his cocktail before dinner and his cigarette after dinner as much as anybody. Howardis other prized possession is his black coupe of a nondescript make and year. One of the class' several determined pool players, Howard is an outstanding athlete in spite of his slight build. He was a member of the A soccer squad for the last three years, and won a letter in that sport in the last two years. He patrolled the outfield on the A baseball team for the past two seasons, and likewise won letters in that sport. Howard also played end for the A football team this year. Helen Marjorie Hamilton lNhen you hear a drawling voice extolling the dubious merits of Pittsburgh, you know it must be Helen. Hailing from the Smoky City, Helen was new in our class this year, but her pleasant manner made her one of us immediately. She already knows practically all of St. Louis, and also seems to be intimately acquainted with the entire populations of innumerable cities and townships throughout the country. Helen's literary efforts have been published in the Iteview. For the first quarter she graced the Art Room with her presence, though she then gave way to her domestic inclinations and switched to the sewing room. She is another knitting fiend, and has recently been seen at work on a creation of a misleading shade of baby-pink, which has been the occasion for many cracks from the class wits. Thomas M. Manchester, Jr. Tom is the tall, dark lad hailing from the hamlet of Fargo, North Dakota, who joined our class last fall. In spite of his recent arrival, he has taken part in school and class activities with a zest which would do credit to many old timers. He spends his spare hours wielding a paint brush on Dramatic Club sets, and may frequently be found hammering away at some odd job down at the Little Theater. lncidentally, we hereby present him with orchids for his scenery in Berlrelcy Square. Good-natured Tom was a welcome addition to our athletic con- tingentg he may be seen on the gridiron, the basketball court, or cinder path. l18l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Mary Ann Heclcer Round steel knitting needles and an endless processon of sweaters of all colors and varieties are what come to mind when we think of Mary Ann. The idea of Mary Ann without the familiar ball of yarn is about as overwhelming as the thought of ham without eggs. Her arrival in our midst this year increased the red-headed population of our class to three. CNeed we mention the other two?l However, her good-natured, easy-going disposition happily doesn't carry out the threat of her carrot-colored hair. When not discussing the relative merits of different yarns, she may be found at work in the sewing room. Though this was her first year at Burroughs, she achieved the distinction of being an angel in the Christmas Pageant. Ormond H. Manhard, Jr. 0rmond's two-year career on the Wforld has landed him the job of being assistant editor, and for the last year he has talked of little save of how much of Graham's work he did, and of how much credit Graham was getting for what he C0rrnond3 was doing. In Ormond, however, we have one of those unusual persons with the rare gift of walking out ol' either study hall or the school at will. Although Doc Rosskopf has seldom, if ever, allowed him to sneak onto the list of privileged seniors, Manhard is to be found at any time boning away in the World Room. The World, too, furnishes the excuse for his leaving school, and he is to be seen daily tearing down the drive in his battered Pontiac which will still do ninety. .lean Evelyn Hermann Jean, bubbling over with enthusiasm, is an outdoor girl, and scorns all artificial aids to feminine beauty except on state occasions. fJean and a lipstick are thor- oughly incompatiblej Jean's casual excursions to Florida every winter are our perennial envy. She returns each year from the land of sunshine with a tan that cannot be equalled, and positively glowing with health and vitality. Jean may often be seen of a Saturday morning proudly driving around the block with two small brothers and a cocker spaniel in the back seat, shouting at her to gun it. Among other sports, she is now learning the noble art of self-defense fwith a riflej and can display various medals attesting to her skill. Jean is known for three things: her naivete, her aversion to cigarette-smoke, and her million-dollar smile. Parker J. Matthews Park likes nothing better than to spend his Saturdays wallowing in the mud of a swamp somewhere back in the hinterlands, attempting to shoot ducks. In spite of rather frequent dousings from the persuance of this sport, he still retains his engaging smile. Un Saturdays when Park wasn't hunting ducks, he played tackle on the football team, bowling over the opposition. During the winter months, hc was a tower of defense, playing fullback on the soccer team. Park has starred in these sports for the last two years. In the spring he tossed the shot, around for the track team. Park is famed among the boys for the borrowed fountain pens which turn up in the most unusual places. Iwi THE JOHN BVRROUGHS REVIEW Dorothy Hume If a black fhevy zips up the driveway, there's no need to look twice-it's Dotty, the class chauffeur. Petite and peppy, Dotty is loved by young and old alike. Descended from the famous line of Hume athletes, she carries on the family traditions, and cavorts with ease and excellence upon every type of court and field imaginable. WVhile definitely above the average in scholastic ability, Dotty's occasional lapses in Latin cause us all much distress. Her entertaining is the tops, especially in the cellar. CWe refer to her basement which has been newly deco- rated for recreation.j The Burroughs atmosphere must have had its effect on Dotty, because at present she is the antithesis of herself as the demure little girl who emerged from Mary Institute three years ago to join our happy throng. Robert Obourn Bob seems to be a regular glutton for punishment. After having had the job of trying to keep our class in order during the stormy sessions on the Prom last year, he was rc-elected to the Court last Spring, and was promptly chosen Chief Justice. He discharged his duties as ABC League reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispalch capably. He was also sports editor of the NVorld this year. Bob is one of the class' leading athletes. He has been a lettcrman in track for several years, and also played on the Varsity football and soccer teams this year. He has been a member of the Glee Club for several years. Frances Ives We are all certain that Frances is going to make a name for herself one of these days. Infact she is our nomination for the first of our promising class to achieve famegvia her vocal chords. If she is not warbling Lohengrin a la Kirsten Flagstad before an enthusiastic audience at the Bletropolitan, we prophesy that she will be out-trilling Lily Pons on the silver screen. or pushing into oblivion the Grace Moores of radio. Frannie really must have her eye on the opera, for she has added acting to her accomplishments this past year, appearing in that super-colossal production, Berkeley Square. Her patience is renowned, and it is probably by virtue of this that she has mastered the intricacies and mysteries of two years of German. Elmer Pearcy, Jr. Tug is noted for a certain occasion in Vhicago, when, on one ofthe class' numerous trips, he popped out from behind a chair to utter to one of our chaperones the meaningful and choice morsels of human parlance, Cuckoo! Burroughs halls have long echoed to the toes of 'I'ug's tapping feet. Musically, he is one of the greatest admirers of the jazz idiom. being heard often merrily caroling the latest ballads. Tug was the President of the Rifle Club this year, having been a member of the rifle team. He had important roles in the Dramatic Club's presentations of l7lur0nc1', and t'Dulcy, and had a part in the club's production of Berkeley Square this year. Tug has also dabbled in most of the vocational activities offered by the school. l20l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Mary Leach Mary is known for her carefree good nature and her gullibility. She is an inveterate knitter, and may be seen always at work on some sweater or other. One of Miss Quigley's most promising pupils, having studied the art of cooking and sewing these many years, Mary is particularly adept with a needle. Her love of animals. especially of the feline variety, has led her through many weird experiences. VVe will never forget the time in eighth grade CMary's first year with usj when she and Theo reduced our English class to chaos by the introduction of two of the base- ment cats and a bucket of water-the details are a bit hazy in our minds, but those are the essentials of the case. John S. Penney, Jr. Jack is outstanding as having gone through the greatest metamorphosis of any member of the class. In the time we have known him, Jack has changed from being roly-poly enough to challenge Parker's excellence in that line, to being as long and lanky as the best of us. With the increase in the length of his legs, Jack has really come to the fore in the last two years. Always of a scientific turn of mind, Jack was a member of the science activity, and became president of the Photography Club that grew out of it. His work on the pictorial part of the Year Book has been an important contribution to this worthy publication. He has been a member of the Review Board, and has had several articles on photography in that magazine. Betty Jane Mayer Good nature personified, Betty Jane is so kind and agreeable that it hurts. She is a veritable walking encyclopedia of knowledge and consequently does her own work land practically every one else'sD with excellence. Betty Jane is addicted to writing stimulating essays on various aspects of school life, and one of these. on Too Much Homework , which was published in the Review, succeeded in making several faculty members extremely self-conscious. B. J. enters into every- thing with remarkable zest, and this is particularly apparent in the athletic world where she has won fame in basketball and baseball. The chief topic of Betty Jane's conversation is Chicago and its charms. One of her pet passions is bringing sandwiches which she munches during advisory under Miss Manson's disapprov- ing nose. Charles F. Pfingsten If, in eleventh grade, we happened to he chewing the dust kicked up by a black Ford passing us at some unearthly speed, we could remark with certainty: That was Pfing. His flying trips for more hot dogs to sell at football games are famous. He and Jack Penney have satisfied the appetites of spectators at Burroughs' athletic events off and on for three years, and Charlie has the reputation of being the class' outstanding boiler of hot dogs. Anyhow, he's had plenty of practice in that line. He is also quite a mystery man, having an uncanny faculty of knowing when the Parkview gates are locked, whether they are closed or not. More than once we have been ready to pray for Charlie's ashes as he dashed up to those gates, only to find on opening our eyes, that the gates had miraculously yielded to the force of the car. l2ll THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW Helen Wood Mcpheeters VVhatever Helen does she does well. Possessing a most versatile voice which becomes either soprano or alto at a moment's notice, she has trilled sweetly for a number of years in the Glee Club, her athletic accomplishments are too numerous to mention, but she is invariably capering about on some AH teamg she is not only a member of the Council, but is its Secretary as well, and she draws ex- tremely stylish looking ladies and writes awe-inspiring poetry. However, Helen's first love is not one of the aforementioned-it is the utterly gory procedure of dissecting innocent frogs and exploring about in the stomachs of crayfish. Sharing Helen's affections with the latter is diving, and in the good old summertime she nimbly tries all available boards. Earl Courtwright Sherry, Jr. Earl is the proud possessor of as much of the class' talent as has yet come to light. He is Burroughs' entry in the competition for new Robert Taylors, and we know plenty of people who would willingly back him against Taylor. Anyhow, Earl is definitely on his way, for he is almost majoring in dramatics. He has given two fine performances in the leading roles of Jourrzeyfs' End and Berkeley Square, and we are all looking forward to a new matinee idol. Aside from this, Earl has found time to star in football, basketball, and track for the past two years. He got away for several long touchdown runs last fall, and he is considered one of the best hurdlers in the ABC League. Betsy Kate Moors Mrs. Moors' little bundle of vivacity, Betsy Kate, Calias Betsy Cratel burst into our class as a Junior last year, thus increasing our Webster representation. Among other things, Betsy sports an enviable profile, a snappy Ford convertible, and a. husky, drawling voice in which her Southern ancestry is very evident. She also has a brother who excels at English composition, and is not above doing a little ghost-writing at times. Frivolous Betsy gave us the surprise of our young lives when she turned in an A-1 and remarkably convincing performance as the serious Lady Ann Pettigrew in that epic, Berkeley Square. Betsy's Ford gets plenty of exercise, for she has that mysterious talent fwe only wish we knew what it wasj for getting out of school on every possible occasion. Paul C. Simmons, Jr. lf you see something slightly resembling a shorn sheep wandering through our midst, it's Simmie, one of Gov's right-hand men. Though his crew cut has handicapped him in his habitual gesture of running his hand through his tawny locks, it has more than repayed him in admiring glances from the fairer sex. Fate has bestowed upon him more than his share of popularity. He is also famed for his athletic prowess. He has been, to mention but a few, a member of the football, soccer, rifle, and track teams. He was elected to Court on the singular platform of having broken the record for being reported to that noble institution, but this honor must have had an improving effect, for he is now talmostl a model of deportment. l29l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Eleanor Osgood Us is one of the most versatile girls we know. Besides keeping the notes for our turbulent assemblies Cno easy jobl, she now shines in various sports, in spite of the fact that her acquaintances of old recall that she used to swing at third strikes in sixth grade. Not content with these talents, her voice excelled those of all other Glee Club prima donnas and was heard in the annual lullaby of the Christ- mas pageant. Endowed with a usually systematic and practical mind. Os has her lighter moments-such as the time when she did the Harlem Walk down the fern- clad paths of the Jewel Box. Us is known for two things: her amazing friendliness to everyone, and her unbelievably curly hair. Jacob Van Dyke Jakie, aside from possessing t.he reddest and hardest head in our class. has had the best luck in sticking to a hobby of any of us. Ever since we have known him, Jake has been air-minded in the extreme sense of the word. His designs of new-fangled, ultra-streamlined flying machines have littered up the boys' advisory room as long as there has been a boys' advisory. A member of the Photography Club. he has taken more pictures of more things than any of the rest of us, even more than Penney. When you see Jake. the question is whether he has a new camera or a new airplane book. Last summer his activity and perseverance reached a new high when he built an airplane in which, we understand, he has been actually able to get off the ground. Milestone on the path to civilization! Nina Renard Nina takes advantage of every symphony, ballet. opera Qlight or heavyj and recital that comes her way. Her life will be an unfinished symphony until she has attained her ambition-namely, to make her debut as a super ivory-tickler. To Nina, silence is golden, but when she does speak up, it's usually worth listening to. Another of those people who fled the wintry blasts and went off to Florida, she returned with a suntan which, though it verged slightly on t.l1e charred. was cnough to turn the rest of us green with envy. Nina is one of the queens of the court-we mean the tennis court. She is also quite an expert at hockey and track, and does not allow her small stature to handicap her. Emil Joseph Verlie Joe, whose first name we have finally discovered after six years, has been the class politician. His activities in directing the Republican campaign in the mock elec- tion held at Burroughs last fall resulted in a Landon victory that would indicate, in comparison with the popular vote, that Joe can pound his fist on a desk harder than the professional political speakers. His dramatic speeches in Assembly, and the Republican rallies afterwards, will be long remembered. He is the most travelled member off the class from the point of view of mileage, and. in spite of the long trip he has to make down from Alton every day, he has missed but one day of school since the seventh grade. VVith Alton and his pencil case, which he has been chasing for years, Joe has done more than anyone else to lighten our woes and take our minds oft whatever weighty matters they happened to be on. He has also cheered us with song, having been a mainstay of the Glee Club for three years. l23l THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW Janet Sample Janet is another of the numerous prima donnas in our class, and, when not in- dulging in reminiscences about the antics of little Herby, her cherubic nephew, she may be found trilling an aria or giving a rendition of the more jazzy Isn't This A Lovely Day? She is an enthusiastic globe-trotter, having toured Europe last summer via the Queen Mary, and may also be seen doing some pretty swift travelling around St. Louis in one of the many Sample La Salles. She likes to startle us with her original coiffures each day and we wish we had her talent for ingeniously arranging ringlets. Janet is known for the swell parties she gives- ranging from a destructive get-together of orphans sponsored by the psychology class to elaborate dances. Joseph E. Vollmar, Jr. Joe, or Schnoz, as he was called during Jimmy Durante's popularity as a movie star, is a mechanic par excellence. His work in the Dramatics department has given him the chance to build stages and settings, and to rig up electrical systems. Joe has been as familiar a figure around Burroughs in off hours as the janitors. Illumination is his real speciality, and for three years plays and pageants at the school have owed much of their effect and success to the many hours Joe spent clambering around the rafters of the gym or casting an amber glow over Slab- sides with his spotlights. When electricity isn't interfering, Joe may be found at the rifle rangeg he won a letter in football last fall, and competes in weight events in the spring. Ellen Steinberg A lover of the simple things in life, Eppie may be seen speeding about the country- side in her elegant new Pontiac Cas yet unblemishedj, and inhaling the good fresh air. Her passion for the latter induces her to fling open with no uncertain gusto all available windows, much to the horror of her long-suffering classmates. In spite of a temperamental knee, which Ellen acquired in England a couple of years ago, and which excludes her from most strenuous sports, she is quite an eques- trienne and a master with the tennis racquet. She has the further distinction of being the only person we have ever seen make Mr. Neville blush-the occasion being when, in discussing in the middle of English class the puppy she had prom- ised him, the conversation centered about which gender he preferred. Catharine Weed Kitls attributes are very diversified. She is a sculptress of renown Calthough her masterpieces are continually being blown upl, a swell athlete, the proud possessor of one of the smallest pairs of feet that ever trod the Burroughs corridors, and an ingenious devisor of methods for getting out of school. One of Kit's most treasured heirlooms is a jovial hit of caninity, christened Gyp, who has left a concrete im- pression on numerous people, including Mr. Neville. A three car garage doesn't suffice the Weeds, and their driveway is constantly littered with cars of many makes and varieties. a different one of which Kit flaunts before us daily. If you want to test Kit's true devotion towards you, just seclude yourself in the hospital for a week or three and see what happens. It's been done before. l24l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Elizabeth Roe Wilcox Because of her quietness, or maybe it's modesty, few people know that Elizabeth is one of the more brilliant members of our class. She is also a steady and versatile athlete. and has served on various teams ever since we can remember. An accom- plished flutist, Elizabeth is our sole representative on the school orchestra, that admirable organization whose activities, except for its annual appearance before the Assembly, are more or less of a mystery to us. She may often be found at a sewing machine in the sewing room, or engaged in that overwhelmingly popular pastime, knitting, and let it here be said that she is one of the few people we know whose creations do not, upon completion, inexplicably vanish or go as gifts to the worthy poor, but are worn in all their glory. Mary Wilson If you hear a decidedly off-key version of Here VVe Sit Like Birds In The Wilder- ness, further investigation will in all probability reveal Mary and Theo as the guilty parties. Mary, petite and dark, arrived from Little Rock four years ago as Arkansas' gift to our class. Her Southern background is evident in her speech which bears a distinct resemblance to the drawling dialect of Judy Canova of radio fame. Mary's talents lie in the fields of literature and art-her dynamic creations are one of Mrs. Edsall's chief prides and joys. Mary may frequently be found at the wheel of an antiquated Buick Cpractically lost in its depthsj which she drives with a careless abandon not althogether warranted by her experience. Mary Ann Winston Winnie is famed for her humor and her incredible powers of fabrication which have often been the despair of the more gullible. Detailed accounts of such phenomena as Trappist monasteries on Clayton Road. and acrobatic dancing for the girls to be taught on the tennis courts by Mr. Leland Qtwo of her more fantastic flights of imaginationj all delivered with a miraculous seriousness of voice and expression, have been the source of much confusion among us all. Winnie's athletic prowess takes all possible forms-she was initiated into the mysteries of rifiery this year, and is now an enthusiastic markswoman. She shines in domestic science, but French is her Waterloo, and it is her daily Cbut as yet unrealizedj ambition that French be dropped from the curriculum. l95l THE JOHN BVRROUGHS REVIEW 6 SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Class History In reminiscing over our six years at Burroughs, we find that it is the unimportant but in- teresting incidents that we remember rather than statistical facts, such as who was President in the eighth grade. Clt was Helen McPheeters, if you really want to know.j For that reason, this will be a somewhat unorganized collection of memories, rather than an orderly class history. Few members of our august body who were present in September, 1931, will ever forget those first few days at Burroughs. VVe were timid seventh graders, wandering around trying to find the class we belonged in. We soon lost our timidity, though, and kept our advisors, J. J. Glancy and Miss Tracy, busy trying to keep us out of trouble. We climbed in and out of the windows of the French room and had thrilling games of keepaway every day after lunch. lilost of the year was spent in making clay models of dinosaurs and Java men for Mr. Obourn, and in hiding Joe Verlie's immortal pencil case. ' We honored the fair sex that year by electing Sally Anne Currie President, Virginia Eiseman Vice-president, and Helen McPheeters Secretary, but We can't remember having held any class meetings. It was the first and only year that the girls dominated the official scene. VVe entered the eighth grade under the restraining hands of Doc Sibley and Miss Ewing. That was the year of the famous Chicago trip in which Tug Pearcy gained distinction for himself by hiding under beds. We became dramatic that year by giving a play having something to do with an alchemist. All we can remember is that Lee Grace was supposed to turn water red by the addition of some chemical and a long incantation. Lee went through with the magic words perfectly, but the chemical refused to perform properly and the water remained quite colorless, causing Lee some slight embarrassment and the audience much laughter. , Upon entering the ninth grade we were all duly impressed with the fact that we were now at the head of the Junior School, and should take some part in the affairs of the school. So we plastered the school with posters and succeeded in getting Hugh Lewis elected to the Council, only to find the following year that he was not returning to the school. That year the school gave The American Heritage and most of the class became noble pioneers in the scene depicting the westward movement. We especially remember Earl, his right foot planted firmly before him, striking a pose and pointing dramatically to the VVest. We made another trip in the ninth grade, this time to Jefferson City to see how the legislature worked. However, the workings of the legislature did not impress us half as much as did the popular walkathon then in progress. We all climbed up several flights of shaky stairs to the top of the dome of the Capitol, and Marian Blanke still shivers every time she remembers them. We also remember that someone Cnot wanting to commit Johnnie Armisteadj found the light switch in the Pullman we occupied going home, and we were left in intermittent periods of light and darkness, during which times we pulled dampened seat covers over each other's heads. All the boys interested in the inside workings of the human body went down to Barnes Hos- pital to watch Dr. Graham perform an appendectomy, and though no one got sick, most of the boys were not hungry at lunch time. The girls came back to school with raving appetites, having spent the morning at the Institute for the Deaf. We became interested in scholastic activities that year. Dorothy Lee Culver won the First Citizen award for the Junior School and Evarts, our child prodigy, started his career on the World. Our class had changed considerably at the end of three years. IfVe had added Baker, Boisseau, Bramhall, Simmons, Howlett, Pfingsten, Lackland and Klippel to the boys' section, and Bostwick, Beckman, Hall, Leach, Wilson, Wilcox, and Gildehaus to the girl's. VVe had also lost some, including Caroline Harrison, Jim Orwig, Frank Pyle, and Fred Pfrimmer. We burst into the Senior School with a dull thud, and took another trip to Chicago to restore consciousness. This time we were ostensibly going to see the modern architecture at the Fair. Of l27l THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW course, most of the time was spent on the Midway. VVe still remember the expression on Mr. Wells' face when he took a ride on the rocket ship just after finishing a double-rich, extra-large malted milk. We also remember a recording of My Old Flame , which played on the vie from morning to night. We returned to school and finally settled down. We elected Helen President again, Lee Vice-president, and Eleanor Osgood Secretary. Mr. Obourn and Mr. Wells tried to keep peace among the boys while Miss Scholz and Miss Mettenet did their best with the girls. Andrews, Edison, Hume, and Day joined the ranks of the girls, while our star athlete, Joe Doughty, joined the boys. We elected Bob Obourn and Paul Simmons to the Court that year, and they have judged and sentenced the rest of us ever since. We remember little else of interest, except that Tug and Evarts played in Clarence, Joe Doughty and Steve were on the football team, and Jake Van Dyke's con- tinuous stream of airplane plans was going stronger than ever. The next year we became Juniors under the supervision of Mark Anthony Pascal Neville and Miss Scholz. We elected Bob President, Lee Cagainj Vice-president, and Joann Secretary. John Felker, Jean Hermann, Betsy Kate Moors, and Betty Jane Mayer became members of our distinguished class. Evarts, Bob, and Ormond were on the World staff, while Charlie Baker, Theo, George, Evelyn, John Felker, Jack Penney, Elisabeth Green, Mary Leach, Evarts, and Joe Verlie were on the Review. In dramatics that year we were quite active. John Armistead, Evarts, Marvin, and Roblee were in Dulcyg Sally Ann, Evelyn, Joann, Betsy Kate and Frances were in Nine 'til Six, and Earl played the lead in J ourneyfs' End, supported by a cast including John Howlett, lVIarvin, Lee, and Ormond. Of course the big event of the year was the Prom, and, except for a few nervous breakdowns on the part of Mr. Neville, it was a big success. No one will ever forget the class meetings we had in preparation for the Prom, in which much was said and very little accomplished. Joe Vollmar will always remember the night of the Prom, which he spent wrapping wet towels around electric wires which were slightly overloaded. We were quite outstanding in athletics that year, too. Most of the class were on teams, and the school won the ABC league championship. Joe Doughty made his place in the Burroughs Hall of Fame by pitching his no-hit, no-run game against Western. Earlma nearly fainted when she was informed she had won the physical education award for the year. Sally Anne won the RadcliH'e Award and Evarts won the Harvard Award, completing the honors taken by the class that year. Seniors at last! Upon finally obtaining this pinnacle of dignity we were joined by Helen Hamilton, Mary Ann Hecker, John Gale, Tom Manchester, and Guy Oliver. We elected John Felker President, Lee Csurpriselj Vice-president, and Theo Secretary. Steve became Speaker and Eleanor Secretary of the Assembly. Evarts, Helen, and Marvin were on the Council, and Bob, Paul, and Charlie Baker on the Court. We were looked after by Gov and Miss Manson. Theo and Lee were Mary and Joseph in the Christmas Pageant, while Guy and Jean were the narrators. Earl and Sally Anne played in Berkeley Square, supported by Evelyn, Betsy Kate, Evarts, John Howlett, Jean, Steve, Theo, Ormond, Tug, hlarion, Guy, Frances, Joann and Mary Wilson. As we realize we are nearing the end of our six years here we like to look back. We won't forget Jack Penney's candid camera, or John Howlett's Putt-Putt, or the boy's usual hangout--K.B.'s home. There was the time we elected Joe Verlie May Queen-and hundreds of other incidents. We won't forget, either the understanding help we've had from Gov,', Miss Scholz, and all the rest of t.he faculty. l23l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Senior Secret Ballot 'HHIIH' 1.

The meetings of that revered body were for the most part orderly, although a bit informal ever since the Court started taking possession of the Library, long the sacred meeting place of the Council. This year, too, the Council was able to meet a surprising number of times on the day appointed, namely Friday of each week. The minutes of the meetings were kept by Secretary Helen McPheeters. Only once or twice were they kept too well. They were at home on the day of the meeting in which they were wanted. In spite of these little difficulties here and there, the Council did manage to accomplish a great deal this year. It conducted the charity drive in the fall, inaugurated a new system of school dances which were really successful Cquite an achievementj, and did a fairly good job with the omnipresent study-hall situation. The high spot of the year's accomplishments, however, was undoubtedly the fire-drill, which Went off as scheduled without any serious injury or loss of life. The Assembly The legislative assemblies this year were particularly boisterous, even more so than has been the case in previous years. Despite difliculties, Speaker Stephen Adams did a good job of keeping the Assembly in order, and Eleanor Osgood executed her duties as Secretary of the Assembly with considerable finesse. There were several important motions which were discussed this year, the chief ones all dealing with proposed changes in the student government. The first one of these was a motion to make it obligatory that three members of the Student Council be from the Junior School. This motion was defeated after a long debate. but it was partially successful in that two members of the eighth grade were elected to the Council this spring. A motion to abolish the Court was defeated overwhelmingly after a long and particularly acrid debate. A motion to create a bailiff of the Court as a position distinct from that of justice was passed. Outstanding among the special assemblies this year was a series held in conjunction with a straw vote to determine the winner of the presidential campaign last fall. Winner of the vote, sponsored by the World and the PAD classes, was Landon by a large majority. During the assem- blies the views of the Republican, Democratic, and Socialist parties were presented. The Court The school year of 1936-37 has been a most eventful one for the Student Court. From time to time motions have been made in the Assembly for the purpose of abolishing the tribunal, but this year was the first time such a motion was considered very seriously. Of course, the motion was defeated, but it stimulated the Court to greater action than had been shown up to that time. One of its results was the Court's forsaking its stuffy, undignified third-floor room in favor of the prestige lent by the Library. This change was welcome to the numerous spectators as well as the justices. A second change for the better was the addition of a bailiff to the list of Court officers. The duties of the bailiff are to call witnesses and defendants before the Court. The extremely difficult tasks of a Chief-Justice were admirably executed by Bob Obourn, who successfully guided the Court through a very trying year. The records of the Court have never been kept in a more orderly fashion than they were this year by Clerk Charles Baker. On the whole, the court has taken several forward steps in 1936-37. l39l THE JOHN Bl'RIl0I'GIIS llEYIEBf r r 1 WOLRD STAFF First Hou' flefl Io Tigflllf Norman Pmbstein.

He and assistant editor Ormond Manhard spent much of their time each telling how little work the other didg yet we notice that between them, and a few other members of the staff, they successfully brought out a good World every week. The World this year contained the usual run of new material, telling what was about to happen, what was happen- ing, and Cmostlyj what had happened, but in addition there was a pseudo-humorous column, Merely Idle Chatter , and frequent editorials on subjects of current interest about the school. The sports news was especially well handled. The new feature writer, Seymour Fudd, had everybody laughing at his sports articles. Taking everything into consideration, the World had a very successful year. World Staff Editor-in-chief ..... .............. ....... E v arts Graham, '37 Assistant editor ....... ..........

M r . Ben Wells The Review The Reztiew has been unusually successful this year. As usual, it has contained representative stories, poems, essays, and plays from all the classes, but the quality of the material in it has far surpassed that of the last few years. Whether this is caused by the better selection of the board or by an unexpected increase in the creative capacity of the students cannot be told, but those who can remember that far back say that the Reriew has again attained the high standards with which it began. The board seemed too large this year to be efficient, though this fault was counter-balanced by hard work on the part of a few members. This year for the first time, the Year Book staff was made separate from the Review board, though many people belonged to both organizations. Another important change was the fixing of certain limitations of ability and experience for members of the Refiew Board, to go into effect next year.

The first full length play, Torchbearers, was presented in late fall. It was a comedy, with Dick Hume playing the part of a loving husband so well that we all have high hopes for his future. Hope DePew played his young wife. Jack Green almost stole the show in his small role of stage hand. In February the eighth grade presented three short plays-Three Cans of Beans, put on by the boys, featured John Ney as a most convincing villain and Bub Pollock as an heroic air mail pilot. John Sherry, Tom Stix, and Bud Sandperl also took part. Neighbors was cast entirely from the eighth grade girls. Ellen Peltason played a typical bashfnl and tongue-tied lover, with Ann Miller as the object of his affection. Rae Samuels outdid herself as a country lug whose single track mind ran only along the channels of cord wood. The third play was Burglars, starring Marian Wallace with a supporting cast including Barbara Carr, Mary Read, Inez Stern, and Leah Oliver. Late in February the eighth grade Cwhich seems really on the road to dramatic successj presented The M ikaclo. John Sherry's Tit-Willowv, we feel, will go down in history, and he sur- prised us all with a really good singing voice. Halsey Melone and Bud Sandperl also took part. Susan Will sang a lovely short solo. We wish we could have heard more from her. Late in lilarch, the Dramatic Club presented by far one of the most enterprising productions in Burroughs history-Berkeley Square. Earl Sherry gave a splendid performance as Peter Standish, the young man who was in love with the charm and adventure of the past. Sally Anne Currie's interpretation of Helen Pettigrew, the eighteenth century English girl with whom he falls in love, will not soon be forgotten. There was scarcely a dry eye in Slabsides as the curtain fell on the last scene. Evelyn Edison's poise and voice control won her a great deal of praise as Kate Pettigrew, and Betsy Kate Moors played the part of the Lady Anne Pettigrew with dignity. John Howlett, Evarts Graham, Theo Bostwick, Stephen Adams, and Jean Hermann all deserve much credit for their splendid support. The set for Berkeley Square, one of the best ever done, was designed by Tom Manchester, and John Gale's sheet iron and bullets produced unbelievably convincing thunder and rain. The four presentations went off with only slight hitches. In the first performance Cgiven for the Junior Schoolj Sally Anne lost part of her costume on the stage, a catastrophe which went mercifully unnoticed. As You Like It wound up the dramatic season, with Jean Fisher and Bill Orr playing the leads as Rosalind and Orlando, respectively. The more important supporting parts were played by lNIarvin Boisseau, who, as Jacques, read his well-known lines with much gusto, Ann Carter See as Celia, Bethune Johnson as Oliver, Charles Baker as the old Duke, and Courtney Heineman as Touchstone. The play was given in June, in the amphitheatre, which provided a natural and attrac- tive outdoor setting. l43l THE JOHN Bl'Rli0l'GlIS REYIEXN RIFLE C LUB Ftrs!

A Football With five victories against two defeats, the varsity football team had a better than average season in 1936. Unfortunately for its position in the league race, Burroughs reached its peak in outside competition, so both the losses counted against our ABC league standing. The first game of the year was a closely fought contest with Chaminade. Joe Doughty's artificial toe won it 14 to 12, by the margin of two extra points. In the next game, Burroughs reached its first peak. Clayton, our highly favored opponent, was thoroughly out-played in a game which it was expected to win easily. . On a let-down after its fine job of the week before, Burroughs was caught by the powerful Western eleven and handed its first defeat of the season, a decisive 33 to 13 setback. The western game was the low point of the season, but the Principia game, which followed it, wasn't much higher. Burroughs was lucky to win a badly-played contest, 7 to 0. VVe spent most of the afternoon on the defensive, and the situation against Clayton two weeks before was almost reversed. A week later the Bombers took another step upward, beating South Side Catholic 18 to 0. This was, however, just a stepping stone to the second peak This came against lVellst0ng the entire team clicked perfectly around Joe Doughty's particularly fine work, and the largest score of the year, Q8 to 0, resulted. The victory was an expensive one, however, for it cost us Paul Simmons. A cartilage torn in Simmons' knee kept him out of the Country Day game. Even without Simmons, the 1936 team did something that no Burroughs varsity had ever done beforeg it scored two touchdowns against Country Day. Of course, this feat lost some of its glory because Country Day happened to choose this particular year to score three touchdowns against us, but at least it makes the future look brighter. The game was really a heart breaker, for Earl Sherry ran across with what should have been the winning six points, only to have the play called back for a Burroughs penalty. The score was 18 to 13. l50l SENIOR ISSUE 1937 B FOOT BALL TEAM First Row rlefz la rivhtu: Boyd Merrell. Dick Hume. Bob Kerwln, John Simmons. John Howlett.

I 52 i SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Basketball CfA,, The Burroughs A basketball players enjoyed a fair season, winning four and losing five of their games. They were victors in two league games, defeating Country Day and Principia once each. They finished third in the league. Prospects were not particularly bright for the cagers at the beginning of the season, with only two lettermen, Doughty and Sherry, back from the previous A squad, and the rest made up of last year's B and C stars. The team scored an upset over Country Day, predicted league champions, sandwiched in between two victories over Chaminade. After losing to Principia and Western, the Bombers came back with an overwhelming victory over Principia. The team finished the season with successive losses to Western and Country Day, and to Riverview Gardens in the District Tournament.

I-541 SENIOR ISSUE 1937 A Soccer Despite the fact that the AU soccer team lost the championship this year for the first time in five years, it had a fairly good season, winning three games, tieing three, and losing only one. As it happened, Burroughs lost the wrong game. As the team finally stood at the end of the season, Bob Obourn and Bob Leland, both new men, played at the wing positions, Oliver and Farrar were at insides, and Stephen Adams, up from the B team, played center forward. There were only two regular halfbacks, Lackland and John Felker. Others playing at the halfback positions were Mac Obourn and John Lively, both freshmen, and Evarts Graham. At the fullback positions were Matthews and George Kahle, with Buster Royston helping out. Lee Grace, up from the B team, played goalie. The team started out well, winning from Principia on a field covered with three inches of snow, 6-0. The final quarter of the game was played in almost complete darkness, but these difficulties seemed to have no effect on the Burroughs team, the ball being kept in Principia territory through most of the game. The Bombers won their second ABC League game from Country Day, 1-0. The weather conditions were terrible again, the field being covered with mud with a consequent ill-effect on the general play of both teams. Burroughs' next game was with Western, and it ended in a Q-2 tie. This game was also played in heavy mud. The Blue and Gold's second game with Principia ended in a 7-0 victory for Burroughs. For a change, the game was played on a relatively dry field on a sunny day. Next came the disastrous game for the Bombers. Western defeated Burroughs 2-1 in mud such as only Western fields can produce. The final game of the season with Codasco ended in a 0-0 tie. A terrific crossfield gale made it practically impossible for either team to get the ball even near the mouth of the goal, much less kick it in. Perhaps the best showing of the year was made in a non-league game with Chaminade, which was played to a I-1 tie. The Blue and Gold was playing against a very powerful, and probably a superior team. Tennis The outlook for the tennis team at the start of the season was not entirely unfavorable. There was one returning letterman, John Farrar, and three players who were on the squad last year, Bill Orr, Dave Horner, and John Stix. Others as yet untried, but who showed good prospects were George Bramhall, Guy Oliver, and Charles Baker. In addition there were many aspirants, or should we say perspirants, who wished to learn the game from the groundup. To help these and any others who might be interested. The athletic department engaged Mr. Ike Macy, St. Louis professional, to instruct the boys, as Mr. Horner, Burroughs coach, had time for only the team members. Baseball The baseball squad was cut down to fourteen boys early in the season. After considerable juggling, the team lined up for its first few games as follows: In the outfield were Bobo Simmons, Howard Lackland, Dixie Holekamp, and Marvin Boisseau. The infield had Dick Sisler, Dick Hume, Babe Peden, Bill Riesmeyer, and Don Nardin. The catchers were Roy Sante and Evarts Graham, and the pitching staff was headed by Joe Doughty, with Gardiner Bridge and Courtney Heineman rounding it out. The main cause for early season rejoicing was Doughty's fine work on the mound. He had a good record in the league last year, and his first few performances this year gave indica- tions very promising for this season's race. Burroughs had this year the largest baseball schedule in its history, and one thing at least was certain, that the baseball varsity would have a very busy spring. l55l THE JOHN BURROUGHS REVIEW TRACK TEAM First Row flefz to riahlif John Felker, Earl Sherry, Paul Simmons, Bob Obourn, Tom Manchester, Kenneth Coggeshall, Bill Jenkins, Bob Guldl. Second Row: Mac Obourn, Parker Matthews, Buster Royston, Lee Grace, Bernhardt Kllppel, Bob Livingston. Track The outlook for a successful track season was not bright in the beginning, but by dint of hard work and excellent team spirit this year's squad proved itself to be the most interesting and able group ever assembled by Coach Leland. John Felker stands out as the most improved runner, and, incidentally, is one of the best dash men ever to represent John Burroughs. Bob Obourn came into his own this year, and so far has not been pressed to win the WMO . Earl Sherry's hurdling is beauti- ful to watch especially because he is usually the winner. In the field Joe Doughty, Babe Peden, and Lee Grace have come through in grand style. For sheer ability to push oneself to the limit in long distance running, we give the palms to Fowler and Niedringhaus. In the ABC League Medal ltleet.

To start the current athletic year, the football teams were chosen. There were two Army and Navy teams-the first were captained by John Sherry and Bub Pollock, respectively, and the heads of the second teams were Halsey Melone and Jerry Kircher. The season ended with the first Army team having taken three out of five games from the Navy. with two ties, and the second Army team having defeated the Navy by a majority of games. The first soccer teams were under the direction of Bud Samuels and Bud Sandperl, and the result of the season was live games for the Army a11d one for the Navy. The second Army team also won the series. During the weeks of basketball, the Army five won the championship by ten games to two. The second teams struggled through a chaotic season with the Army finally winning. Baseball and track are the two other major sports, and to compete in them the boys are likewise divided into Army and Navy teams.

N521 SENIOR ISSUE 1937 Senior School Girls Sports For athletic competition, the girls of the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades play among themselves in two and sometimes three divisions. The girls in each class are put on that class' A or B team according to their ability, so that no team will be completely outclassed. These teams, all four classes having a team for each division of every sport, play series of games, the class ranking in a certain sport being determined by the number of games its teams win. One point is given for every victory, with the point being split if a tie is played. A victory for a class' B or C team counts just as much toward the class' record in a sport as one for the A team. The Interclass Cup is awarded to the class with the best total of points at the end of the season, This point-winning is not confined entirely to the girls of a class, for the boys' efforts in the interclass track meet are counted, but the main burden in winning the cup is carried by the girls. Although several classes have managed to win the cup twice, no class until this year had won it for two successive years. The class of 1938, which won last year as sophomores, was far out in front at a late stage of this year's competition. lnter-Class Field Hoclcey Class Team Won Lost Tied Juniors C10 pointsj ...,. -- A 6 0 0 B 3 1 2 Seniors C6 pointsj .......... -- A 3 2 1 B 2 3 1 Sophomores MM pointsl ...,.. - - A 0 3 3 B 2 2 2 Freshmen MM Pointsj ...... - - A 0 4 9.
